Zelenskiy says new massive Russian attack possible this evening

-

June 2 (Reuters) - ‌Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said ​Russian forces could again launch a massive attack ⁠on Ukraine on Tuesday evening.

"According to our intelligence, another large-scale attack may occur tonight," ​Zelenskiy said in his nightly video address ‌after overnight attacks by Russia's military killed 22 people across the country.

"Please, I strongly urge ⁠you to pay attention to ⁠air raid alerts."

Zelenskiy said 130 people had been injured in the overnight strikes, in which he said more than 70 ‌missiles and 650 drones had been deployed. ⁠Russia launched new attacks throughout ‌the day on Tuesday, ​deploying a further 100 drones.

"Unfortunately, the current level of supplies for our air ‌defence does not enable us ​to intercept a ⁠significant portion of the missiles," he ‌said.

"All partners together, ⁠and everyone in Europe, must continue working to ensure that Ukraine receives air defence ​missiles, the necessary ‌systems, vital intelligence and other resources that ⁠help save lives."
